Mother who thought she was dying hammered son to death so no one else could raise him

Suspected prostitute Tenika Revell beat her seven-year-old son to death because she thinks she is dying from cancer — and didn’t want anyone else to raise her boy, according to her longtime boyfriend.

“She loved him so much she didn’t want nobody else to have him,” Terrace Johnson said of his longtime girlfriend , who killed her son Bernard — bashing his head with a hammer — on July 8 in their Brooklyn apartment. She took pills to try and kill herself, but survived. “She didn’t want her mother or none of them to get Bernard.”

Johnson met Revell when Bernard was an infant. “I raised him,” he said. “She took my boy away from me.”

About a year after they got together, Revell’s angry side began to emerge, he said. She had done two stints in prison for robbery and burglary before meeting him.

Revell, 40, took medication for anger management, Johnson said. But her mental health declined rapidly after getting pregnant with his child last year, then having to abort the pregnancy because of her spreading cancer.

“That’s when she started really going downhill,” Johnson said. He speculates Revell may have resumed her crack habit, but insists she was a good mother to Bernard, her only child. He would scold her for buying the boy video games and scooters when she couldn’t pay the bills. “She’d spoil him rotten,” Johnson said. “She went all out.”

Revell called 911 and calmly confessed, cops said. Johnson didn’t know the boy was dead until the next morning, when he came to visit and saw the news cameras and police tape.

How easy?

In order to get married in New York State in 1971, my fiancée and I had to prove that we were at least 18 years old and did not have syphilis or gonorrhea. In 2015, 14-year-olds can get married in New York--even if they have a venereal disease--if parents and a judge approve.

One aspect of family life that has not changed in decades--or even in millennia--is the ease of becoming pregnant. Almost any fertile female who has unprotected sexual intercourse or artificial insemination can become pregnant and probably become a mother.

There is no need to prove mental or physical health, no need for the approval of a judge, no need to demonstrate the knowledge and ability to care for the child until adulthood.

Because it is so easy to get pregnant, many children are neglected, abused or even murdered.

It's difficult to get permission to adopt a human child--or even a Chihuahua.

No permission is needed to get pregnant.

Unlike when voting or buying liquor, there is no need to attain a minimum age to have sex.

Unlike when renting a SCUBA tank or airplane, there is no need to prove training and certification to become pregnant.

If human beings thought more about becoming parents maybe there would be fewer abused and dead children.

I hope this blog helps a bit.

This blog was suspended in 2012. Maybe I stopped the blog because I found the news so depressing. Maybe I stopped because I was busy with other projects. Maybe it was a combination of the two.

Now, in 2015, there is so much news about bad parents that I feel the need to once again alert people to the horrors.
